Sold out but not sold out at Cafe&Meal MUJI

On my last visit, I forgot to check out Café Muji so this time came here for dessert because they looked good.

Anyway, ordered the pudding and they said it was sold out.
It was weird because there were two in the cabinet when I went out and they were still there.

It was a weekday evening and surprisingly packed and the tables were really close together so it was annoying being forced to listen to other peoples’ conversations.

Not everyone had a basket to put their bags because I was not given one and the table behind me didn't get one.




Ordered a drink and the pudding after he checked that it wasn’t sold out.

Cucumber mojito:



It was a refreshing drink with a strong fizz, there were lots of diced cucumber in it that got stuck in the straw.

Overall, it was nice and tasted natrual because of the diced cucumber and fresh mint leaves.

Pudding:
Waited ages and it didn’t arrive so decided to pay the bill and leave.

Crepe for desserts

Time flies since French May and now it is the middle of June already.

It was only a few weeks ago that I had their yummy platter and duck crepe and now I am craving for crepes again so it's probably the aftermath of French May!


Went here for dessert and ordered two simple sweet crepes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crepe with maple cream:

The crepe was thin and light topped with a big dollop of cream.
It was nice because it wasn’t too sweet and the cream and crepe went together nicely.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Crepe with salted butter caramel:


There was quite a bit of caramel drizzled on top but luckily it was not too sweet and it had a bitter taste.
It tasted even better when I added some cream to it from the other crepe.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Hope to try the croissants next time.

Still needs improvement at Bocadito

Dined here because there was no one dining there.
The decor was a bit strange because it looked Greek but it was a Spanish restaurant serving Tapas.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish and chips:

The fish was really salty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
crepes with bacon and mahon cheese:



The menu says Mahou cheese but I couldn't google it so I believe they are referring to Mahon cheese.

Anyway, the savoury crepe was amazing because it was lean crispy bacon and sharp cheese wrapped in a soft crepe.
The pairing of salty bacon and cheese was good.

Arome bakery’s ice dumplings

Arome bakery’s ice dumplings

Traditional dumplings are made with glutinous rice and wrapped in plant leaves but now there are some modern ones called Ice dumplings because they have a clear translucent exterior and they are eaten cold.

There are quite a few flavours at ABR but there were only three I wanted to try which were purple sweet potato, apple and brown sugar.


They only had the purple one so I got that for $28.


The packaging was cute, you just peel off the lid and eat.


The dumpling exterior was very chewy and the purple potato puree was too sweet and tasted artificial so I think I will probably just buy the apple to try next.

French toast with apricot at Peak Cafe Bar

For breakfast I don't normally order anything sweet but they had this French toast with apricot and yoghurt which I had to try.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
French toast with apricot and yoghurt:

With the location being in Central and right by the mid-levels escalators the French toast was not going to be the silly local ones dipped in egg and drenched in thick syrup.
It was a modest toast filled with finely sliced apricots in the middle served with tart vanilla yoghurt.

The toast was divine because the apricots were sweet and fruity while the tart yoghurt mellowed it out.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Earl grey tea:

The tea took some time to come, from ordering to chasing it up with another waitor who forgot so we had to reorder it again.
It was good to see that they were using tea leaves and not tea bags.

ginger purple sweet potato latte at Gaba Concept

Came here especially for the ginger purple sweet potato latte.
They serve it hot or cold but there was no price on the board so I don't know if it costs different hot or cold.

The name latte was a bit weird though because Latte is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk.
I wonder why it isn't called ginger purple sweet potato milk.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
ginger purple sweet potato latte:

Luckily there was no coffee in it and the bottom of the drink was heavy sweet potato puree with ginger.
It was not too sweet and the ginger was not too fiery and complemented the sweet potato nicely.
I would advise stirring the drink to mix the milk, ginger and sweet potato to get a balanced taste.

Belgium food in Hong Kong

I was really excited with this new place because of the Belgian snacks, fries and there was a good choice of sauces.

Improvements:
Staff should ask what sauce the customer wants because I was not asked and I thought it was self service but it was not.
The Friccadelle and Mexicano were too salty but according to a Belgian, he said that they should not be that salty.



The fries were a disappointment because you can get these fries anywhere.
The sauces could have saved the day but as they didn't ask which sauce I wanted, they just gave me ketchup by default!
